started the Divina Cucina Wine Club because of requests from my students for wine & food pairing ideas, hints on the best vintages, gift ideas for special occasions, and suggestions for making sense of the endless wine choices available from Italy. While my monthly selections will often favor Tuscany my home, we will also send you fine wines which embody the history and culture of this fertile peninsula. From Tuscany, you will taste Brunello, Chianti, and Vino Nobile, and from Umbria the highly prized Sagrantino. From Piemonte, you can taste noble Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera, and Dolcetto. From Veneto, you will drink famed Amarone and Valpolicella. You will also taste the wines of southern Italy that once again are attracting attention and admiration, wines like Aglianico, Nero d'Avola, Greco, and Gaglioppo. Each month, you will receive from your wine club two outstanding handcrafted wines from a leading Italian winemaker. And with your wines, we will send you the Divina Cucina Wine Club newsletter on the region, the winery, the wines, and the foods which the wines complement. Soon you will be able to put the flavors and aromas that you experience into a framework from which your knowledge and appreciation of Italian wines will grow. C H O I C E S  A N D  P R I C E S P E R  M O N T H Prices per month include sales tax. Shipping is extra and will range between $3.50 to $8.50 or more for the two-bottle package, depending on your location within the continental U.S. CLASSICO SERIES  $ 35.00 Leading Italian winemakers forfeit quantity and pursue quality from low yielding vineyards with richly aromatic fruit. Families who have made wine for centuries are now advancing the old knowledge with new research, producing even better wines which taste of the ancient soils and the pervasive sea mists. In the Classico Series, you can expect to receive a red and a white wine. RISERVA SERIES $65.00 Wines from the Italian Riserva Series are made by renowned winemakers like Jacopo Biondi-Santi, Michele Chiarlo, Giorgio Lungarotti, Vincenzo Ercolino, Bruno Giacosa, among others. Although the wines are outstanding now, you can cellar them for a longer period if you prefer. In the Riserva Series, you receive only red wines. SUPERIORE SERIES $115.00 For the Italian Superiore Series, we've chosen wines that are highly rated by Gambero Rosso, the most prestigious guide to the world of Italian wine. These wines can be enjoyed now or cellared for the future. COMBINATIONS $51/$90 If you would like to combine wines from the Classico, Riserva, and Superiore Series, you may choose from these two monthly packages. A bottle from the Classico Series and the Riserva Series ($51), or a bottle from the Riserva Series and the Superiore Series ($90). Join now or send a gift from the Divina Cucina Wine Club! My selections are heavenly!
